Therapy Tonics is on a hot streak! Check out our latest mention on local San Diego area news outlet KPBS, where anchor Andrew Bowen popped into our licensed manufacturing facility and interviewed Vista Prime Distribution CEO, George Sadler to get an inside look on the manufacturing side of budding cannabis industry in San Diego.
